Bilderberg elites secretly discuss depopulation, migration, and AI
Some of the world’s most powerful elites converged last week in Sweden for the annual Bilderberg conference, where they held secret, closed-door meetings about pressing global matters.
What is Bilderberg?
The first Bilderberg meeting took place in 1954 in the Netherlands at the behest of the country’s Prince Bernhard. It has remained a tight-lipped affair ever since. Each year, heads of state, industry, and media convene to discuss world issues, though the contents of the meetings are never revealed. Cameras and recording devices are not allowed at the conferences, which are by invitation only, and all attendees agree not to quote each other. The exact location is kept hidden. Politicians have largely refrained from even mentioning the Bilderberg meetings, with the exception of former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX).
On its bare-bones website, the Bilderberg group claims the purpose of the meetings is just to talk.
“The Meeting has one main goal: to foster discussion and dialogue. There is no desired outcome, there is no closing statement, there are no resolutions proposed or votes taken, and the Meeting does not support any political party or viewpoint,” the organization says on its website.
The group is credited with the creation of the European Union, after leaked documents from the Bilderberg meeting in 1955 showed a push for an economic union of Europe. The European Economic Community Treaty was ratified two years later.
Bilderberg Meeting 2025
This year, the Bilderberg meeting was held from June 12th to June 15th in Stockholm, as always, with the exact location undisclosed. Attendees included top Pentagon officials, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and international diplomats. Legacy media were also there, like The Economist Editor-in-Chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum, and Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla was in attendance, as was Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, billionaire Peter Thiel, and the heads of Spotify, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Ryanair, Palantir, Goldman Sachs, and other megacorporations. Failed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams also made the list.
The topics of the meeting, as published by the Bilderberg group, were: Depopulation and migration, proliferation, Europe, the Middle East, US economy, Ukraine, the Authoritarian Axis, defense, innovation, resilience, AI, deterrence, national security, geopolitics of energy and critical minerals, and the transatlantic relationship.
“The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed,” the Bilderberg group explained in a press release.
“Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.”
